In this week's video I share a 20 minute art workshop which I created last year for my email subscribers. In this playful and accessible short workshop I share different ways to discover and develop interesting shapes to incorporate into your own abstract art. We’ll be exploring ways to find shapes out in the world and 2 x ways to develop your own collection of shapes through simple drawing exercises.

Materials

To complete the drawing exercises you will need some paper or your sketchbook and some drawing materials such as pencils or water based coloured pens.

Books

In the video I show you some work by two artists to get us thinking, Rex Ray and Hilma Af Klint and share inside these two books:

Rex Ray by Griff Willams, Rebecca Solnit and Christian Frock, Chronicle Books 2020

Hilma Af Klint: Visionary, Daniel Birnbaum, Julia Voss et al Stolpe Books 2018
